Among it's countless features I liked the following: you can synchronize your Media Library with your portable media player: compatible with iPod, Creative, and Microsoft Plays For Sure devices. It contains coding Technologies aacPlus High Bitrate encoder available in Winamp Pro, Coding Technologies aacPlus (HE-AAC) in MP4 container Coding Technologies LC-AAC encoder.

A feature which I personally liked is the Predixis Smart Playlist Generator to list your songs according to the way they sound. The program has lots of customizable components: Winamp Agent, Library, modern Skin Support, User Interface extensions, Audio file support, video file support, visualizations, extra audio output/effect support. You can associate it with audio, video, audio CDs, playlist files. Automatic download and install codecs and libraries also available.
